A happy snapper from Prestwick caught these shots of the partial solar eclipse earlier today.

Jeremy Ferguson took the photos between 10.30-11am this morning as the moon appeared to eat into the sun.

Pretty impressive going, considering the amount of cloud around today.

In order to get the shots, Jeremy had to play around with shutter speeds to focus on the eclipse. Explaining his process, he said: "Because the sun is so bright I had to use a really fast shutter speed which allowed enough light in to see the sun but nothing else really.

"That way you get a clearer image of the sun itself but don't see any colours of surrounding clouds or sky."
